While we're all waiting on GTA 6 after the most recent delay – with the new trailer only making things harder for us – rumours of 2008's GTA 4 returning to modern platforms have appeared. Ex-Rockstar Games technical director Obbe Vermeij is among the group of people who want Niko Bellic to return.

Vermeij worked at DMA Design-turned-Rockstar North from 1995 until 2009; during that time he worked on the likes of Space Station Silicon Valley, Manhunt, and some of those GTA games that people seem to like. When asked by a fan on Twitter how he feels about the rumours of the port of what was one of the last games he worked on at Rockstar, he was keen to see it.
